May I ask a stupid question? What makes a super a super?

Dom=visual paint job with no super form..................Example here

Codom= visual paint job WITH a super form.............Visual here Super here

Recessive is a whole ball of worms LOL=two copies of the SAME gene to get a visual.............My favorite here
This is where the "het" comes into play because one copy makes a normal looking snake that carries the gene.

BTW........Simpleman is a good guy and you can find him here in this site
Some good little tidbits of info you gave there, Pit! I like the examples, too!

And I'll have to look up Simpleman and see if he's willing to meet sometime.

Simple is south of you, and I would love to get a ball from him someday soon, and he makes snake and rat racks! I can't brag on him enough : ). I'm not 100% sure where Wapadi is but I saw some of her snakes at the last expo, the pastel was stunning! And good sized too, man I wanted to take that snake home! SnakesRkewl is in Oregon and has beautiful Yellowbellies and clowns. I got Loki from him and everything was perfect. There are a few others I am missing as well, sorry guys!

Don't know what het means, but I'll bet it is something good! The bees are also intriguing to me as well.

And thanks for info on other breeders/fellow neighbors. Your help is not going unnoticed!
